I never thought of the mosquito aspect before.

This is truly scary to me. CWD is transmissable via saliva and blood, making even mosquitoes a danger. It is my hope that all hunters get better informed before they head out to kill a deer or elk.

Of course, the best way to protect yourself is not to hunt at all...but people will do what they will.

Live and learn, here's a good article that will make any hunter think twice (or 50 times) about safety when hunting cervids that can potentially contaminate them with CWD. It's not the way you want to die, so get informed.

CWD worrisome to Livermore hunter.
